Hi, My hands are freezing...and i cant wear the gloves while i type...
I've even taken to wearing thermals under my jeans / shirts and layering up! But the hands are not happy.. typing on my phone is also an issue.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

I saw these online - http://www.wristies.com/

But - does anyone have any experience with something like that? Some of your fingers are exposed - so does it work?

Anything decent locally?
 
Jeepers, some people. Just get fingerless gloves. Or make your own. Normal wool gloves and cut the fingers of at the 1st knuckle.

I work at home in my upstairs room... and i had my heater pointed at me yesterday... and it was just too darn cold..

I've become weak when it comes to this :-( thats why i put on my thermals that i used when i went to Rhodes for the race in the snow. (And its not even THAT cold here) im just feeling it...

Nothing wrong with being weak to cold. I mean I too get pretty cold sitting in front of the PC 2am in the morning. But my hands are the last thing to get cold :o, Starts at my feet and then once it gets on my back, I'm out. But hands? pfft.
 
Going to try the finger less gloves, my hands are also freezing and its affecting the typing speed and accuracy.

Whats frustrating for me is a few years ago i used to wear shorts and slops all year round and i havent moved house! It seems im getting soft! Anyhow - i layer up and everything is warm except for the fingers.. and i cant work and keep my ahnds in my pockets!

So - The fingerless gloves is on my list now to find...

Any recommendations? I would prefer fleecy type of thing that breathe instead of thick woolly ones

EDIT: i see these puppies: https://www.capeunionmart.co.za/k-way-peary-mitten

EDIT2: I googled more - and most of these things look really girly.... lol

I also battle with cold hands, mainly due to bad circulation. I use fingerless gloves, but the problem is that it's the tips of my fingers that get the coldest. The only real solution is doing movements to increase blood flow, like opening and closing your hands, or swinging your arms. Also make sure there isn't too much pressure on your wrist cutting off circulation when at the PC.
 
I've been diagnosed with Raynaud’s Disease. There is literally **** all I can do about keeping my hands and feet warm. Nothing works effectively, so I just vasbyt.
